PrepTest 109 - Section 1 - Question 25

Show summary

The number of airplanes equipped with a new anticollision device has increased steadily during the past two years. ██████ ███ ████ ███████ ██ ███ ██████ ████████████ ██████ ███ ███ ███████████ █████ ██ ██████████ ████████ ███ █████ ██ █████████ ████████ ████ ███ ███████ ████████████ ████████ ███ ███ █████████████ ███████ █████ ████████ ██ ███ ████ █████████ ██ ███ ███████ ██████ ██ █████████ ███████████ ███ ███ ██████ █████████████ ██ ███ ████████████

Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The author hypothesizes that a new anticollision device is responsible for the sudden disappearance of information from air traffic controllers’ screens. This is based on the observation that over the last two years, the anticollision device has become more popular, while at the same time, the information disappearances have become more frequent.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that just because there’s a correlation between the use of the new anticollision device and information disappearing from air traffic controllers’ screens, the former must be causally contributing to the latter. This means that the author assumes there isn’t some other cause for the disappearing information.
